Live Long and Prosper

 

[mango.man]

Axe kick

 

[terryl965]

Inverted crescent and the Backswing

 

[tsdclaflin]

Spin hook for breaking.
Low sidekick for self-defense.

 

[IcemanSK]

I really like the side kick. But I'm also partial to the spinning back kick.

 

[Mimir]

Jump Spinning Back Kick but probably because it is the first jump spinning kick I learned how to do well. Okay, that and the amount of power I can get when I throw it.

I also like the twist kick because it isn't used all that often and is sneaky :ninja:

 

[CrimsonPhoenix]

My favorite would have to be the roundhouse with the instep of the foot. I also really like the spinning back kick. Crescent kicks are really good too.

 

[Loomie]

Spinning hook kick and cresent kick are my favs.

 

[Windsinger]

For kicks I'm capable of right now, the hook kick. Just something about that kick that I feel I can get more power out of than most of the others I can do.

Otherwise, the tornado kick, just for the "Oooooo!" factor.

 

[Svart]

Definitely love nicely performed turning kicks. Spinning hook kicks if pulled off well too.

 

[aspec]

All variations of the hook kick.

[Ms. Sheryl]

I guess I'd have to say I like the back spin kick and a good turning sidekick especially when I do it well.

 

[igillman]

Roundhouse, side and back kicks. I find that they serve me well 90% of the time.

Nice!

 

[YoungMan]

Back sidekick, followed closely by the back roundhouse kick.

 

[kaizasosei]

probably the reverse roundhouse hooking style kick. even better with a spin. the kind that can even connect to the opponents back of the head.

i like kicks that are done elegantly with great flexibility or agile jumping.

tripple kicks!!!

liu kangs bicycle kick!

blocking with the soles of the feet.

Well, depends on what ya mean by "favorite"

On one hand, I agree with Kwanjang in that the spinning heal kick is just a beautiful way to put a hard piece of bone (the heel) on somebody's head with a whole lotta power. That goes along with an appreciation of the skill it takes to accomplish this.

On the OTHER hand,

I absolutely LOVE the front kick. Done correctly, ahp chagi can either knock someone on their butt OR penetrate and break stuff, all while keeping both arms in play for set up AND follow up punching.

I probably throw more front kicks while (continuous-style) sparring than any other kick.

And in self defense situations, it is easily thrown (don't need a lot of flexibility to throw it head high), fast and inconspicuous (don't have to put your body in any non-conventional positions: it is used from a stand-up position). You can fire out a front kick, do considerable damage, and if anyone blinks they will have completely missed what you've done.

Was kinda thinking the same thing as it tends to change based on what's working based on what I've been training on

 

[Deaf Smith]

Spinning heal followd by the side kick.

For SD I'd use the Glock kick (kidding there.) Low side kick and low front kick (with heal.)
